Title: Clamp assembly
Inventor: JORDAN MATTHEW
IPC: E04B1/24
Filed: 2012-03-15
Abstract: A clamp assembly for use is securing together in a superimposed relationship two elongate members 35 each having a pair of opposite edge regions comprises a clamping frame 28 comprising four frame members 11. The frame members 11 of a first pair of frame members are spaced apart by a second pair, and the frame members 11 of the second pair are spaced apart by the first pair. The second pair allows the spacing of the first pair to be varied so that the first pair may be brought into contact with a first of the elongate members. Similarly, the first pair allows the spacing of the second pair to be varied so that the second pair may be brought into contact with a second of the elongate members. The two pairs of frame members 11 are interconnected by connection means 12 which acts solely between the frame members 11 to hold adjacent frame members 11 in contact with one another whilst also allowing relative sliding movement. The two frame members 11 of at least one of the first and second pairs each have a slot like formation which extends in the direction of the length of the frame member 11 and through which a beam clamp may extend to engage with the two elongate members 35 and be tightened to secure together the elongate members 35.

Title: Gate circuit provides improved timing alignment among 25% duty-cycle non-overlapping local oscillator signals for a quadrature mixer
Inventor: ALFORD RONALD C
IPC: H03B27/00
Filed: 2013-01-24
Abstract: It is known to de-skew differential local oscillator signals with cross coupled inverters (fig.1, 9 & 11). The present invention develops the technique to provide 25% duty-cycle non-overlapping waveforms. A synthesizer (fig.4, 205) generates a plurality of waveforms. Inverters (fig.4, 210A-D) receive the waveforms from the synthesizer. The inverters provide quadrature Local Oscillator (LO) clock waveforms LO_0, LO_90, LO_180 and LO_270 at their outputs. The clock waveforms are coupled to de-skewing circuit 220, comprising NOR gates 220A-D. The output of each NOR gate 220A D may be connected to a respective clock waveform line LO_(0-270) from the output of an inverter. Each NOR gate has three inputs and may receive clock waveforms from each of the three clock signal lines to which its output is not connected. Negotiation (contention) between the outputs of the inverters and the outputs of the NOR gates can improve the signal timing. Each clock signal line thus passes through the de-skewing circuit 220 responsive to the three other waveforms being at logic "0". The clock signals drive a quadrature switching mixer (fig.4, 215).

Title: Dynamic deceleration control for hybrid vehicle
Inventor: LIGGINS STEVE
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2013-08-21
Abstract: A hybrid electric vehicle is capable of direct drive by internal combustion engine 101, electric motor 103, or both. In order to provide a consistent overrun response, a torque controller 107 determines an appropriate deceleration characteristic according to, for example, transmission speed ratio, vehicle gradient and vehicle mass, and commands the electric motor and the engine to contribute a negative torque which meets the required deceleration characteristic. A tip function modifies the characteristic in the event of a change commanded by the vehicle driver, for example a change of speed ratio. The invention provides consistent deceleration for instance when an accelerator pedal is in an off position and a battery 108 is fully charged.

Title: Clipping of graphics primitives
Inventor: ENGH-HALSTVEDT ANDREAS DUE
IPC: G06T15/30
Filed: 2013-12-11
Abstract: Techniques for performing clipping of graphics primitives with respect to a clipping boundary are described. The clipping step may be performed separately for each tile of a graphics frame to be rendered, after a primitive list for the tile has been read from a primitive memory. Clipping may be performed only for larger primitives whose size exceeds a given threshold 100. If the primitive size exceeds the threshold a clipping operation is performed, during which new vertex data is generated 106 for the clipped primitive. If the primitive size does not exceed the threshold, the clipping operation is not performed 102. Subsequent processing of the primitives is performed on the outcome of this determination 104,108. Clipping of a primitive to the clipping boundary may be performed inexactly so that only a single clipped primitive is generated which may extend beyond the clipping boundary. A clipped primitive generated by clipping may be used for a depth function calculation of a primitive setup operation and not for an edge determination. The methods and apparatus described are intended to reduce processor burden when processing image elements prior to image rendering and display of an image.
